    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">But I'm hearing Curry has showed off a new dimension to his game: an outside J. Nate says that Eddy is doing so comfortably within a scrimmage. A little catch-and-shoot. A pop-out. A little Patrick Ewing-style.

    We know Eddy has a nice touch. He's not the quickest guy, but he moves well for a big man. Despite his three-point bomb that beat Milwaukee late in the season (Still waiting for someone to tell me why the Bucks had players defending the empty paint on that play), clearly this is a part of his game Curry needed to develop and he said he would. Of course I haven't been present to see it, so I'm just relaying what I've heard. But it's encouraging news. For Curry and Randolph to work, Eddy needs to be able to go high-post and hit a few 15-footers.

    Just as long as he doesn't start falling in love with it.</div>

    We'll call him 15 foot Curry. I can't wait to see this in action. Curry comes off a screen, and book it! Rip Hamilton move over, Curry is the new catch and shoot king.

    He was hitting a lot of jumpers in preseason last season. I don't know what happened though. The jumper could propel him into real stardom (along with the defense, rebounding, and less turnovers, of course)

    That's nice to hear Eddy Curry working on his jumper and playing alongside with Zach Randolph could be a boost in doing so. He's already got a great game in the post which makes him hard to stop, but if he's need to work on limiting those turnovers of his.

    I think he needs to work on his primary weapons before he starts adding more. He should be learning to rebound better and limiting his TO's. It would be nice to see Curry hit jumpers but I still think he needs to address several other things in his game.

    The only jumper he should work on is the one he takes from the free throw line.
